Testing on dummies with Bloodlust

[Sqnk]

Hello Guys,

An ideas i got for some time now.

Make a "reset CD/debuffs button" in the damage test dummies area. Several way to do it, like talking to the dummies directly, or having an extra button in the area... I need to do some testing with bloodlust, and wait 10 min between each try is way too much.


I don't think this is too complicate to do, and I don't see any cons to it.. tell me what you think.

Thanks for reading me.

Hmm, should be a possible change, quite funny it hasn't been thought of. Unless it has something to do with WPvP and city attackers, else, shouldn't be a problem with an NPC interaction or the likes for a reset.

While you're at it add a function to use temporary flask buffs at the dummies as well.

Could be something usable in only certain areas like order hall dummies maybe?

I think that's a really good idea if they implemented it in a way that couldn't be exploited. Obviously you can sim yourself unlimited times but it'd be nice to get a real world feeling as well. Also It'd be nice to have more single target dummy options. Every target dummy in my order hall is close enough to other ones that I cleave them unintentionally with spells such as Avengers Shield.

Nah, think it should just stretch for personal buffs.

Could be indeed.

May be used for exploits. Better add dummies and buffs to an alternate version of the proving grounds.

Someone take this idea to the Battle net forums

^ boom.

exploits would def happen. Putting proving grounds scenario tech to good use = fantastic idea. (i'd use it.)

Or some brawl instance tech, so you can also see other players.

I understand the exploit thing. But there is ways to do it safely, like creating a little separate map with dummies. It's just one more loading screen.

In my order hall (DK) proving ground NPC is close to target dummies, so when i want to reset my cds i start proving ground scenario and then leave. Maybe this method is applicable in other order halls too.

Well they already have implemented a speed-up of CDs buff in the game, so it should not be too hard to have an NPC near the target dummies give characters a buff, that gives them 500% CD speed-up while not in combat inside the area.

For testing stats purposes they should just make like a 40 yards aoe range around the dummies where you have like a pannel where you can click on what buffs you want and to take it a step furter would be good to also just be able to apply different enchats/gems on your items to compare statweights live and the moment you step out of that aoe all effects/changes insta dissapear be it heartstone, accept a que and get tpd in a dungeon /raid. Would basically allow to compare results to any sim you'd do in parallel in simcraft/pawn/amr. That or everything i said above in a scenario like instace similar to the proving grounds.

I am taking this to the suggestion blizzard forum. Thanks for your opinions guys. I'll keep this thread updated if i have a blue post answer.
